Any additional sheet taken (even if used for rough work) should be turned in. are A fertilizer company is trying to determine the cheapest fertilizer mix that provides desired amounts of nutrients for 2 given soil type for a customer. The mix is made by combining the following fertilizers: SSA, SPO, GUR, TSP, KCI, FERT, and SPF. The percentage (by weight) of potassium (K), sulfur (S), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na) and phosphorus (P) in each fertilizer is listed below. For example, a pound of SSA is 16% K and 26% Na. KS Ca Na SSA 16% 0% 26%, SPO 15% 0% «= 0% = 18% GUR 0% = 40% «= 0% OM TSP 0% 46% © 20% = 5% KCl 60% 0% % 0% RT O% 33% OM SPF 0% = 0% Ssse8ag~ For the given soil type, the customer has asked that the fertilizer mix must contain at least 600 pounds of K, 550 Pounds of S, 750 pounds of Ca, 900 pounds of Na, and 750 pounds of P. The cost pet pound (in cents) of each fertilizer is also listed below. ‘Feige SAPO GOR __R_ Unitcoe 25 3588 a, [8 Marks} Develop a Linear mathematical model to find the minimum cost fertilizer mix that meets the stated nutrient/chemical requirements. For this, clearly define all your decision variables, objective function and constraints mathematically, followed by explanations of the objective function and constraints in words. pectin seem: ee one Min 0:26 S8A4 DICSPO + 041 UR + BAN TSP sane ger, ecto t + OBOE 4 oxasrcer + 0:30.5F ie 10 ah Gur St DdgSSA 4 OUSSPO 4 O.0KeE > 60 — 1K GuR 7p rete 2 Oyo GQUR + 0-48 TSP $9 —s wee - a 2.20 TSP + d: BBFERT A pert EAA .

What changes would you make to the model to account for the additional condition that the fertilizer mix cannot contain both TSP and KCI (because if both are present in the mix, the effect of other fertilizers is nullified)?
